World Press Freedom Day: Council of Europe platform highlights threats to media in Malta

World Press Freedom Day: Council of Europe platform highlights threats to media in Malta 14 hours ago Malta has a total of nine alerts on the Council of Europe’s platform to promote the protection of journalism and safety of journalists, only one of which is marked as “resolved” and another of which is marked as a case of “impunity for murder,” according to its annual report. As the world marks Press Freedom Day, the report, written up by a coalition of press freedom NGOs, journalists federations and media alliances, found that “in 2020, extraordinary damage was inflicted on the practice of free and independent journalism” as a result of COVID-19 emergency regulations as well as an entrenching of the culture of impunity; increased threats and physical violence; judicial harassment and State-led media capture as methods to undermine independent journalism.

Journalists warn against using pandemic to silence debate

The journalists institute warned the authorities and social media users against attempting to use the pandemic to restrict press freedom or silence debate. PEN Malta meanwhile called on the government to stop suppressing information to the media and eradicate all obstacles for independent news organisations, many of which are financially crippled because of the pandemic. In a statement published to mark World Press Freedom Day on Monday, the Institute of Maltese Journalists (IĠM) called for concerted efforts for journalists to be shown more respect in their line of work. Press Freedom Day is an opportunity to support and applaud journalists in providing the public with reliable, quality information. This is something that has not only become important in the face of constant misinformation fomented through social media channels but has become much more difficult since the COVID-19 outbreak, it said.
